Heritage Heights at Lake Chelan
Heritage Heights at Lake Chelan is a non-profit senior care community in Chelan, Washington, offering assisted living, memory care, respite care, and end-of-life care. The community operates in the Lake Chelan Valley within Chelan County, with a non-profit structure that sets it apart from many local providers and often reflects a mission-focused approach to care. With a 32-bed capacity, the community has 23 occupied beds and an occupancy of approximately 72%, consistent with the Washington state average. Pets are welcome, and utilities and housekeeping are included.
The inspection history highlights ongoing fire safety compliance concerns. The community has completed five state inspections, with the most recent life safety review on September 10, 2024, identifying 11 deficiencies. These findings were related to fire system maintenance documentation, storage clearance issues, improper use of power strips, and fire suppression systems. Earlier inspections also revealed a similar pattern of fire safety and electrical documentation issues, along with a prior citation tied to incomplete resident service agreements.
Additionally, complaint investigations conducted in early 2023 were unsubstantiated, and no fines or license suspensions are listed in available records. While the total deficiency count from the most recent review is below the statewide average of 31, it is still important for families to discuss current fire safety practices and corrective actions.
Three daily meals are provided in a shared dining environment, with options like fresh fruits and vegetables and accommodations for special dietary needs. A variety of daily activities, both on-site and in the surrounding area, support engagement and overall well-being, while care is guided by individualized service plans. Notably, end-of-life care is a compelling service, as smaller communities in rural Washington do not always provide this level of support.
Heritage Heights at Lake Chelan is a strong fit for older adults who prefer a small-town setting in the Pacific Northwest and are looking for a community-oriented environment with non-profit oversight, inclusive services, and access to advanced care support alongside assisted living or memory care.
